Our Quality Principles
Transparency
You can see progress at any time. No black-box development, no surprises with the final result.
Quality Gates
No phase is completed without the defined quality criteria being met.
Involvement
You are part of the team. Regular reviews, direct access to developers, joint decisions.
Agile development process: From idea to running system
Our development process combines agile methodology with fixed quality gates: each phase ends with verifiable results before the next begins. You always know where your project stands – whether app development, a web portal or legacy modernization.
In discovery we clarify goals and risks – often starting with a workshop or the project check. During delivery we work in two-week sprints with demos and feedback. Security audits and automated tests are built in from the start, not bolted on later.
After go-live we can take on operations & support, hosting and further development with SLAs. You receive full documentation and clean code – no vendor lock-in. For a first cost estimate use our software development cost calculator; see references for real-world examples.

Frequently Asked Questions
Development Process
Timeline & Updates
How long does a typical software project take?
The duration depends on the scope. An MVP is typically achievable in 8-12 weeks. Complex enterprise applications take 4-9 months. The discovery phase gives you a reliable timeline after 1-2 weeks.
How often do I receive updates on project progress?
Every 2 weeks there is a sprint review with a demo of new features. Additionally, you have access to the project board at all times and can track progress in real time.
What happens if requirements change during the project?
Our agile process is designed for exactly that. Changes flow into the next sprints through backlog management. This keeps you flexible without jeopardising the timeline.
What quality gates are there?
Each phase has defined acceptance criteria: code reviews, automated tests (unit, integration, E2E), performance tests, security checks, and your explicit approval before the next step.
Can I switch providers after go-live?
Yes. You receive complete documentation, clean code, and all access credentials. There is no vendor lock-in. Your code belongs to you.
How does maintenance work after go-live?
We offer SLA-based maintenance contracts with guaranteed response times. Updates, security patches, and further development are part of the package. You can adjust the scope at any time.
